sir walter's bath, roman bath, eastern illinois's bath

We traveled to Bath to view the world of Austen's Persuasion, a world heritage site. We arrived, it was sunny, and so we decided to do a walking tour first, and to save the older, Roman Baths for the second day.

• Bath was, of course, baths (the King's and Queen's Baths, the Helte Pump Room) in every age.
• It was also one of development in Austen's time. The Pulteney Bridge from the mid-18th century is a beautiful version of the Ponte Vecchio with shops on both sides. But it also allowed a high-class development of the area across the river.
• Queen Square by John Wood Sr. and the Royal Crescent by John Wood Jr. were also high-class housing developments, in the early and mid-to-late 18th century respectively. (The latter is also a photo op. for the Eastern gang.)
